Yes and Yes IMO.

[caretaker1]

1) Push. SNGPT
2) Push. Fold equity, plus a pretty good hand in that spot.

[Barrin6]

Good push on both hands

Don't be results oriented! Good pushes.

I've learned so much from this post. Thank you for this great contribution to the forum. [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

[sgsslok]

Ha! I didn't mean to teach anyone anything. I am here to learn myself, as one of my 2006 New Year Resolutions is to take poker more seriously.

Before reading other replies -
1) I push.
2) Without specific reads on raiser - I call. If I have him tagged as a LAG - I push.

[mornelth]

Results don't mean sh!t. I re-raised a guy and then called his push with KK - he showed AA and knocked me out. Is that a bad play? Hellz no.

It's ok, after a while you will learn to recognize when you made the right play - and got unlucky (examples above)- or when you simply made a donkish play and lost because of that. Posting here will help you separate one from the other when you're not sure.
